The brim is 2 3/4”. The crown height is 5 5/8” as creased, 5” at the highest point. The ribbon is 2 1/8” wide.
Nice! Congratulations!A bit of a confession from someone who has been locked down by the pandemic for far too long and has an urge to emerge from hibernation and live again. Some of you may be aware of the Optimo Insider Club and their periodic e-mails with offers of products which are intended to appeal to the avaricious side of the personality. I confess that I have succumbed to sensation and have ahead and ordered an item from their Montecristi Cellar Event. The hat I ordered will be a Montecristi Homburg design. I have not ordered from Optimo in several years but the temptation was too great and I have thrown caution and good judgment to the wind to indulge myself. I will report back when the item arrives around Memorial Day
You should call them and send a picture!Some months ago, I sent in an old Optimo hat of mine for servicing. They cleaned it and re-blocked it and put in a brand new liner and a brand new sweatband.
However, it came back as shown in the picture here, with the sweatband not properly attached to the liner on one side, and instead it juts out and becomes squiggly.
Does anyone have any idea why that might have happened?
Would you say Optimo is being lax in their quality standards to allow something like that to happen?
I recently bought this brown heather-textured fedora and asked Graham Thompson for his opinion.
This was his reply:
"Our new silver belly’s are extraordinary. I’d recommended you get one of our blue Pearl lightweight belly fur hats in a full crown. They are amazing"
Love the sales pitch at the end...!
I already have one, and he didn't know. He is right, it is magnificent! Full crown, light, and dense. Beautiful!Love the sales pitch at the end...!
The Optimo Montecristi Homburg has arrived. The ribbon is Burgundy in case you were wondering. This was ordered through the Optimo Insiders Cellar promotion. The photos really do not do it justice as it is a magnificent hat

Beautiful! How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind saying?The Optimo Montecristi Homburg has arrived. The ribbon is Burgundy in case you were wondering. This was ordered through the Optimo Insiders Cellar promotion. The photos really do not do it justice as it is a magnificent hat

I would rather not go into specifics. In their e-mail on the Optimo Insiders Club Cellar event, Optimo quoted a range of price points. The price I paid was less than the maximum and more than the minimum of the prices quoted by Optimo. I had not purchased anything from Optimo in a number of years and I suppose this was a way of celebrating the end of the Covid lockdown and getting out into the world againBeautiful! How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind saying?
Hey, what is the brim size?Optimo Bleached Beaver Silverbelly. A copy of Alan's Stack, since I can't get the original. . Pics of the Stack are Alan's, at the bottom.
